Hi, I posted this in here instead of tech support as this isn't a crash or a bug...

I have, due to my monkey-like ripping skillz, a few CDs' worth of music with really rubbishy tags and filenames - stuff like amon_amarth_04_versus_the_world. mp3. All this gumpf is split into the appropiate tags, but seeing versus_the_world instead of the nicer-looking Versus The World in the playlist window mars the look of it a little.

I've been trying to coax masstagger into replacing all the _, inserting capitals etc for me , as although I could just rip the CDs again or do it manually that would be cheating! However, I'm going nowhere. If I make an action "Set Value..." -> TITLE -> $replace($gets(%title),_, ) and run it, instead of all the underscores vanishing the title changes to the command I tried to run as the mp3's title tag.

Have I made a really fucking stupid typo?
Am I running the command in the wrong place?
Is this even possible?

I guess one other way I could try would be to have foobar rename the files into their proper shape, then Guess Values From Filename, but surely there's an easier way of doing this than masses of file renaming?

tia (thanks in advance)(tia) helpful internets :keke:

edit: I had a look at picmixer's FAQ but it was completely over my head...

"Set value" does a literal copy, without any automagical goodness. Use "Format value from other fields" instead, with TITLE as the target and $replace(%title%,_, ) as the formatting string.

Hey there - this works for me:

Masstagger -> Format value from other fields:

Pattern: $caps2($trim($replace(%tag%,_,' ')))

Ah, perfect, thanks for that.
